17. The Surprise Visit

Chapter 17

Seri's POV

I got home from the mall and dropped dead on my bed. Rehearsals were tiring and the trip to the mall with Josh was even more tiring.

I felt so tired. I got up, took off my clothes and rushed into the bathroom for a shower.

After the shower, I stepped out of the bathroom and was tightening the sash of my bathrobe when all of a sudden I heard a noise from behind me.

I turned and screamed out loud! It was dark in my room so it took me a while to realise that there on my bed sat Josh, cross-legged and grinning!

'What the Hell are you doing here?!' I shrieked at him.

'I was missing you so thought I should stop by and then I heard that you were in the shower so I was hoping to see you in a tiny towel once you come out. But here you are tying up your bathrobe! Hmm...but bathrobes are also sexy...don't worry!' He winked at me & then smirked.

I glared at him for a few seconds too stunned to say anything!

He stood up and from his back pocket, took out my phone and put it on my bedside table. With a serious look, he said 'I actually just came to give you your phone. No one was opening the door so I got worried. I saw that this window was open so I climbed up and got inside. Once in, I realised it's your room. I heard the shower and thought of waiting for you. That's it. No other ulterior motive.'

He looked genuinely concerned & apologetic as he said all this.

'S'ok if you sit down. You are in no way punished you know. Nobody's home except me....and you, of course...so there was no one to open the door for you. And umm...I pity you!'

He looked at me with a quizzical look and asked 'Why do you pity me?'

'Because you couldn't see me in a tiny towel. You see I always use a bathrobe. Prissy I know, but that's my habit.' I giggled.

I realised that he had been tensed up until then as he let out a sigh of relief and gave me a goofy grin. Even with the goofy grin, he looked cute!

'You look cute!' I blurted and then shocked at my own behaviour I turned around and felt my cheeks warm up.

'Miss did you just say that I look cute? Huh?' I could literally hear him smirking!

'Yeah, I did, so?' I said more confidently this time.

'Hmm...glad you find me cute...but droolworthy would have been better.'

I turned around and he winked at me.

'Mr.I-love-myself get out of my room for a while, I need to put on some clothes!' I said as I threw a pillow at him.

He caught it mid-air and threw it back at me. Almost mocking me with a you-seriously-expect-me-to-do-that look.

I laughed and threw it back at him yet again, but this time, he had moved towards me and caught my arm before I could throw the pillow at him.

His other hand caressed my cheek and I felt a tingle down my spine. Electrifying.

It seemed as if he wasn't even aware of his actions and honestly I didn't mind.

It was overwhelming to take in his scent and be caressed by him at the same time.

Then something snapped in both our heads.

He leaned down and before I knew it, he was kissing me. A soft, nice kiss. Nothing passion-driven. But definitely my best kiss.

His arms snaked around my shoulders and my hands went up and tangled up his hair. We kissed for what seemed like hours.

Ripples of electricity shooting through me.

We stopped, both panting and gasping for breath. We both looked at each other and almost at the same time said 'That was wow!'.

And we burst out laughing.

Still embracing each other we stood there in silence once the laughter died down. I could hear his heart beating, with my head on his torso.

After a while, he got up and opened the curtains and let the setting Sun's rays come in. It lighted up my room beautifully.

Then he turned around and said 'I knew you would look beautiful in this light, but you look like an angel...but..'

'But what?' I asked.

'Will you be my angel?'

Call me dumb, but I gave him my most 'unintelligent' reply possible! 'Huh?'

'Nothing forget it.' He said in a disheartened tone.

'No no! I heard what you said! I just want to confirm what you mean...' I said in a hushed tone.

'Well..will you be my angel? I know we haven't gone on dates or anything officially, but we have practically know each other since kindergarten thanks to Olly & Zara. And I always knew that I liked you, but didn't have the guts to confess. S'ok if you say no. I'll make sure our friendship isn't affected. But still..will you be my girlfriend? You know...exclusive?'

I gasped and I couldn't find words to answer him. I knew I wanted to say yes, but didn't know how. So, I kissed him.

And as we deepened the kiss, I felt him smile against my lips and heard him murmur a thank you.
